Thanks Brad. I'll join up. I've been trying different etching techniques and it is driving me insane. I think I finally stumbled onto the right dye to use with my stamp, and I think i have the correct timing required for etching in ferric chloride. Figuring out what to rub onto the copper to stain the markings so the etchings stand out and then to brown up the copper is my next hurtle. All of that to say, I look forward to gleaning info from this site and the folks here.
